Answer #2

If you don't appear in the court the case will proceed exparte and a decree against you might be drawn it's better to appear in the court and file a reply if you want to contest the case later it will become tough for you although since it's civil।case so there is no fear of police arrest

Answer #4

You can't save yourself by this kind of tactic. The court can proceed ex-parte. after ex-parte, Judgment will pass in your absence and you have to oblige it. The best way is to hire an advocate and content the case

In a civil suit, summons must be properly served as per the Code of Civil Procedure. If the summons is sent to an old address where the defendant no longer resides and the postman has endorsed “not available,” it is not considered valid service. The court will usually direct the plaintiff to take fresh steps by providing the correct address. If repeated attempts fail, the court may allow substituted service, such as service by newspaper publication. Only after valid service can the court proceed ex-parte. If the defendant later proves that summons was never properly served, any ex-parte order can be challenged and set aside. सिविल मुकदमे में समन की वैध तामील होना अनिवार्य है। यदि समन ऐसे पुराने पते पर भेजा गया है जहाँ प्रतिवादी अब नहीं रहता और पोस्टमैन ने “not available” लिख दिया है, तो इसे वैध तामील नहीं माना जाएगा। ऐसी स्थिति में न्यायालय वादी को सही पता देने या पुनः समन जारी करने का निर्देश देता है। यदि बार-बार प्रयास के बाद भी तामील न हो, तो अदालत प्रतिस्थापित सेवा (जैसे समाचार पत्र में प्रकाशन) की अनुमति दे सकती है। बिना वैध तामील के अदालत एकतरफा कार्यवाही नहीं कर सकती, और यदि ऐसा आदेश हो भी जाए तो उसे चुनौती दी जा सकती है।
